Use the building letter before you compare a condo.

Dorset A through I

9 buildings, approximately 378 registered units, built 1979, with three floors reported in current public condominium records.

Buildings inside one association can still differ in floor plan, floor level, orientation, lake or garden exposure, parking route and day-to-day convenience. The building letter should travel with every fee, rule, financial and value comparison.

Condos and floor plans

Choose the practical unit, not only the association name.

Century Village offers one-bedroom, one-bedroom with one-and-a-half-bath and two-bedroom layouts across the community. The exact association and building determine what is available. Verify approximate living area, bath count, first or upper floor, corner position, elevator access, screened or enclosed patio, storage, washer-dryer configuration, assigned parking and guest parking through the unit records.

Public records show garden and lake-view examples, but every outlook is unit-specific. Buyers often value the combination of a usable layout, outdoor space, attractive outlook, renovation quality and convenient access more than bedroom count alone.

What makes Dorset different?

A distinct association choice inside a very large community.

Dorset is a mid-sized, nine-building association with a south-west location and both garden and lake-view examples in public records. It is a useful middle-ground comparison between smaller Ainslie and larger Brighton or Fanshaw.

Dorset sits on the south-west side of the map, adjacent to Fanshaw. Official internal bus routes serve A through I in separate clusters, so buyers should map the exact letter before judging a route.

Association fees in Dorset

The complete monthly picture needs two current charges.

The current Dorset condominium association charge and the Cen-West community charge should be obtained separately. Century Village’s official framework describes these as separate monthly coupons, with different responsibilities. One public 2026 community-wide tracker range is not a substitute for the exact unit’s current bill.

Confirm what the association charge includes: building insurance, exterior maintenance, roof responsibility, water, cable or internet, landscaping, common areas, reserves, pool and recreation responsibilities. Confirm exactly what Cen-West supports as well.

Fee information reviewed August 2026. Read the Century Village Boca HOA fee guide and compare the South Florida 55+ fee tracker.

Assessments, reserves and building financials

Review the current records, not an old listing remark.

Assessment, reserve, insurance, structural, roof and elevator-project information must be tied to the exact association and current date. Assessment status reviewed August 2026 was not confirmed publicly as a complete, current record for all Dorset owners.

Request the budget, reserve schedule, insurance declaration and deductibles, recent meeting minutes, special-assessment notices, project reports, milestone inspection or SIRS information where applicable, and current planned-expenditure disclosures. A building’s age alone does not answer any of these questions.

What affects condo values?

Similar bedroom counts do not make two condos comparable.

Within Dorset, buyers compare building letter, floor, corner versus interior position, lake or garden view, patio exposure, renovation quality, kitchen and bath condition, flooring, impact windows or doors, patio enclosure, HVAC, water heater, electrical panel, laundry, parking, current monthly charges, assessments and association financial condition.

Dorset is a mid-sized, nine-building association with a south-west location and both garden and lake-view examples in public records. It is a useful middle-ground comparison between smaller Ainslie and larger Brighton or Fanshaw. The current competing inventory and recent sales inside the association are more informative than a broad Century Village average.

Before making an offer

Review the condo and association as one decision.

Confirm every monthly charge; review the budget, reserves, insurance, minutes, assessments and building projects; verify leasing, pets, buyer approval, renovation rules and parking; then compare the exact unit with recent Dorset sales. This is especially important for floor, view and condition differences.
